I want to make an animation (example: Mr. Happy man or something like that) but I don't know how, or what to do. I have a wacom board so making the characters will be fine. Some one please help me figure this out - it looks hard and confusing!

I have an animation that you can download and you could use some of the things in there to help you: http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/iaoumeur/3013064
Hope this helps!

Here's some stuff I'll need help with:

-Moving their mouths (Just circles)
-Moving their hands (p.s. should this be a sperate sprite???)
-Having the timing
-Having them be able to talk and walk with out having to click a 'next' button or press a space to move on...
-(I have a mic) Having them not overtalk one another
-Lets say one slips on a banana and I want him to move forward backwards and foreward then fall, how do I animate that?
-If its needed I can add a "start" button but I prefer it just automatickly playing

Please help, I'm confused and want to make an animation!

1. Do three different costumes; one closed, one slightly wider/open, and another one that is the widest. Then copy the second one for the fourth. Your talking should be "repeat (howevermany times)
  next costume
  wait 0.05 seconds"

2. Don't focus too much on hands, but you'd want to use a different sprite, for sure.
3. BROADCAST BROADCAST BROADCAST.
4. See above.
5. See above.
6. Just repeat "change x by 2", and "change x by -2" for forwards/backwards, respectively.
7. Just start of with an animation.

You can find the broadcastbutton in the controltools,
With this too you can let a sprite broadcast things, that are Recevieved by others,
It looks a little bit like this, to let 2 persons talk
sprite 1:

think [How are you doing?] for (3) secs
broadcast [go1]

when i recieve [go1]
think [fine and you?] for (3) secs

whell than u just use play sound whatever in stead of think...
but yh broadcasting is the easiest way to let 2 sprites interact

Same, they're soooo boring!
